Great, now I have to keep a flashlight on my person at all times just in case this opportunity presents itself.

Flashlight on your phone, buddy.

[–] SomeAmateur 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I carry one all the time! For the stuff I do it's more useful than a pocket knife and phone lights only get you so far.

If anyone is wondering I use a Streamlight Protac 2L-X at work, and a Sofirn SC-21 out and about.

"What Tim Burton Batman movie is this? looks at description HIGHLANDER 2?!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I still can't believe that movie got made.

Wait, let me clarify that. I still can't believe THAT movie got made.

Bright light in a drunk's face seems like a great way to get socked in the mouth.

The way I was taught to ask for a light in chinese is literally translated as 'Hit the fire machine?' (打火機嗎)

[–] pepperonisalami 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's because "打火機" is a noun, direct translation would be "the fire striking machine" which means the lighter. So the sentence is a shorthand to ask whether they have a lighter.

Oh, that's great to know! I'd got the impression that 打 was being used as a verb in the sense of use/make/play with 火機 as the object. Thanks!
